Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald: Volume Two: There are very few DVD releases that I look forward to these days. There is one exception, however, and that is the line of Disney Treasures that get put out each year. While I don't collect all of them, my brother does, I have been very satisfied with the releases that have come out so far and this is no exception. In fact, I'm almost positive I watched this before but it was still listed on my backlog, so here goes.

Donald Duck has always been my favorite Disney character. I think part of it has to do with how he was always the second banana to Mickey and unlike Mickey was not guaranteed to come out on top in the end. Plus watching the crazy duck lose his temper was always a highlight. This set highlights the cartoons I was most familiar with growing up and those are the World War 2 era. These cartoons were when Disney was at its peak in the shorts department and the quality shines here with an enjoyable set.

Der Fuehrer's Face is on here which is, if you haven't heard of it, a cartoon when Donald dreams that he lives in Nutzi-land and has the great Spike Jones title song. While it is wartime propoganda it stands, in my opinion, as the best Donald Duck short ever made.
